BTW: 0.14.3 solved the issue you are referring to, so you can import trains before / parsing the args without an issue. Regrading passing project/name as parameters. A few thoughts: (1) you can always rename / move projects from the UI (2) If you are running it with trains-agent there is no meaning to these arguments, as by definition the Task was already created... Maybe we should give an option to exclude a few arguments from argparser, I think this topic came up a few times... What do you think?
